LeMoyne transfer commits to UConn

[3rdbass]

Interesting pickup. So he is coming to UConn for 1 year to just sit on the bench? I thought we were looking for developmental pieces. Maybe we gave him enough NIL to make it attractive compared to others that he didn't care.

 

[3rdbass]

have we run out of NIL money? 205 lbs, geez

Why do you think that? He is a 4 year player who has been decent. I'm sure he would of played for some Mid Majors and got guaranteed minutes but maybe we gave him more NIL. Are you expecting some big names? Tom Moore already said there will be none in his interview.

Walter Clayton Jr. started at Iona.

O.K. I'm not expecting much but good depth piece who can play the 4 and 5 in a pinch when needed. And can bang in practice

And as an added bonus Reibe has someone to speak German with

I mean Clayton went to Florida after Iona, not LeMoyne.

I feel like that is instructive here.

But I agree, he fits a need. More in that he can be a pain in the ass to players like Stewart and AK in practice.

Koroma visited UConn on Friday 5/9 alongside fellow transfer recruit Armoni Ziegler of SaintvPeter’s.

Look like we're interested in St. Peter's guard, too.

Right? Why not?!! A 6'8" big man - may get Singare type minutes in games, but you can't teach 6'8' to bang against Reed and Reibe etc. in practice!

A solid pickup, absolutely. But at 6'8" 205, he's not going to bang against Reed in practice. Still need another big.

 

[IndyLives]

Like the experience. Can eat up minutes in rugged BE play. Can never have enough experienced big men when battling tough competition all year.

He banged against him in game so why not in practice? See the highlights in the link. Maybe not a huge guy but plays stronger and has long arms. He was also a former Rick Pitino recruit at Iona.

Considering how well he played against the high major competition LeMoyne faced this year he's a great pickup and, if NIL is tight, he may be the bargain of the year.

 

[3rdbass]

A bit surprised we didn’t go after more rotation wing depth - must be really confident in Ross

Stewart or Mullins will start, the other comes off the bench (Mullins at SF/SG or Stewart as SF/PF), then the rest is Ross or Furphy

How many guys do you want to play at SF? We also have the other Ross brother. You listed 4 even before Jacob.

Armoni Ziegler is a 6'4" SG who put us good stats as a Sophomore. Might be a key piece going forward at least next year. I wonder if he would red shirt if we get him this year and keep 2 years.

Thanks for sharing the video. He does look stronger on tape than I anticipated. And fairly athletic. Looks bigger than 205. I reckon 6'10" 230-240 pound guys don't grow on trees!

In the video it said he was also a former Rick Pitino recruit at Iona. That sells me that he has some talent and definitely looks like he can bang. Also, another big who is a lefty with Reibe.

The staff is very confident in Ross. We aren't. But who cares what we think? Not us.

Yes, bingo. He’s not a big body.

They're not done.

Weird, it's almost like we still had 4 spots to fill and not all of them were centers

 

[Umami Zen]

Based on what Tom Moore said about roster needs (pre-Ross announcement)- Staff would still want a CG(Ziegler?) and a backup C.. I'd say its been a pretty productive week as we approach our first Summer Session. Throw in some interesting OOC Quad1 games and we're rollin'.

 

[3rdbass]

Watch the video. He was banging against Tarris Reed. He plays bigger than listed and has good length. We might get another really tall player but I'm sure he will be purely developmental.

I was kidding. I added a winking emoji so nobody else doesn't get the sarcasm.

 

[Palatine]

6-8 but only 205 (if the other sites are right). Not really a big body or banger type.

Watch the video in the link and see he was banging against Tarris Reed when he played against us and did alright. He doesn't look that small.

Good? Bad? Productive? Non-Productive? Every puzzle has a piece.

ma ma ma my Koroma. Thanks for the earworm The Knack!

 

[husky429]

Doesn't look 205lbs to me. Same size as AK and he's listed 225lbs.
